Hi Guys, I have a rather old Western Digital 20Gig IDE HDD here. The user states it started making a noise and of course the computer now wont boot. I plugged the drive into my PC, and it does not get recognised by the Bios (so at the very least the logic board is dead?) It makes the following noise repeatedly: ftp://homepages.ihug.co.nz/public_html/harddrive.wav Is this what they call stitchon or is it something else? Anyone able to shed some light? Cheers -Al
